Do You Feel Better

The irony in life is funny at times. I remember so many times Tina and I would be someplace; the mall, restaurant, movies, and see a good-looking dark-skinned woman with a white male. The thing that always occurred to us first was not an interracial couple. No, it was that without exception, regardless of each person’s color, the woman was way out of the guys league. She was hot, and he was definitely NOT.

Sure beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but there are somethings most people can agree on, and often you would see a couple not matched and we would ask, “how is she with him?”

The irony for those that have read this blog from the beginning is that now she is that girl, but I never knew just how much so. A person I know, recently saw pictures of them, and their assessment was flat, “He’s real overweight, shorter than her, and not attractive. Not her type in my mind, so maybe it really was not you.”

All I could zero in on was, he’s shorter than her. How is that even possible? She’s five-four! What woman that’s short, dates a man that’s shorter than her? It’s like, an unwritten rule. I mean there are exceptions, like Napoleon I guess, but it was just bizarre to me. I know why it came up.

I should feel better because he does not look better (petty but I’ll take what I can get I guess) and even if he is a decent person, he’s not doing anything better in terms of treatment than I did. So I should feel better, except my mind is a bit more real world. He still has her, and I don’t so. But the obvious answer is the money he has, and my head still shakes at that. That seems like a stretch even for her to be with because of money. I mean maybe he’s flying her to milan or something, paying all her bills, and buying fancy jewelry.

I don’t know what to make of any of it, and have not from the start. Maybe the lesson here is I’m gonna have to learn to just live with inexplicable things in life.
